Description

Union members have Weingarten rights, stemming from a Supreme Court ruling in 1975, to ask for a steward at any meeting they believe could lead to discipline. Stewards can do a lot to support members in these meetings, and also organize against patterns of unfair discipline.



Labor Notes Organizer Kari Thompson, who leads some of our Stewards’ Workshops, joins the pod.
